Stereotyping in KFC ad

This is an article about an Australian KFC commercial that was recently pulled because of accusations of racial stereotyping. Apparently, the ad didn't cause much buzz until it ended up on the internet and people in the U.S. watched it, which I found kind of interesting. What do you think? Should it have been pulled of the airwaves?
